Speaking about the move, the 81-year-old told Chris Evans on this Radio 2 show on Wednesday: “We will do something because we’re good pals, and who knows what it would be?”

“We haven’t been approached yet, but we would love to do something together. I just love their humour.”

Her comments come following the news that a new cooking show is set to launch on the BBC next year.

The broadcasting channel only lost the rights to their hit series Great British Bake Off to rival Channel 4 five weeks ago, but it seems bosses are wasting no time finding a replacement as they’ve decided to commission a new culinary programme with the working title The Big Family Cooking Challenge for the beginning of 2017.

Although the finer details about the show are being kept tightly under wraps for the time being, there are hopes Mary Berry will judge on the series as she recently announced she was quitting the ‘GBBO’ following six years out of “loyalty” to the BBC.

The culinary queen’s decision came just days after the show’s hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc also revealed they were turning their backs on the series.

A source said recently: "We've got three of the fab four staying with us. We're thrilled. The chances of us reuniting Mary, Mel and Sue are very high."
